Chapter 70
The Rule of Benedict August 28
I find it so easy to set myself up as judge and executer. So often my perspective is trapped behind my two small eyes, and I succumb to the temptation to act as though I see Reality. Benedict seeks to prevent this very impulse in this chapter.
As a non-cloistered community, let us consider carefully how we posture ourselves with each other and with those we encounter in our daily lives. As much as it appears at times to be the case, God has not set us up as vigilantes for God's own Truth.
